Pepsi-Colas . tious City" on Saturday, we only ! know what we have heard and read about the senior tussle here but to us, it looks as if Pete Hastings and his Parkdale Derbys finally came back to earth, played their normal brand of ball and took the lacing that was expected. Even putting the description in the best possible To- ronto version, all that can be said is that Derbys had an off day and the Oshawa team played "heads up" ball. * + * Steamer Lucas proved that he is one pitcher who hadn't been to the well once too often by turaing in a great chore to sub- due the Derbys with six-scatter- ed hits--and we do mean scat- tered. Not more than one in an inning and only cae Toronto player ever got past second- base in the entire game. * + * Red Jubenville, Moose Matthews and the rest of the boys all con- tributed to the attack, with Coach Tracy Shaw starting off the big rally that really clinched the ver- dict. * + * It was a great win and now we can acclaim our Oshawa team, who entered their club, formed by them- selves, operated themselves and won the T.B.A. title and the Toronto Daily Star Trophy. * + + Now Oshawa meets Niagara Falls Brights for the senior baseball championship. Brights beat Stratford 3-1 right in Stratford on Saturday, te sweep their series in two-straight. * + » It seems that the O.B.A. promis- ed Niagara Falls and Stratford, that if they went ahead with the semi-finals, while the Toronto T. B. A. officials were messing up the local playoffs, they would be given every advantage in the finals. That's only fair and while it's a tough break, the Oshawa club isn't kicking. * + 0 It would have been nice to have a Saturday game here next week. About 1,111 cash customers saw this game here Saturday. However, the O.B.A. has announced that the first game will be here in Oshawa on Wednesday afternoon of this week. The return game is back in Niagara Falls on Saturday. It's a 3-out-of-5 series and the third game will be in Oshawa one week from Saturday. +* + @ South Hastings was beaten in | 'Toronto on Saturday while Niagara Falls Juniors evened up their series with Toronto Kiwanis. + + The football season got under | way around these parts, with Balmy Beach winning over Argos and | Hamilton Tigers defeating Camp Borden. + + 4 Detroit Tigers won the pennant on Friday and are now ready to meet Cincinnati Reds in the World Series. It should be an interesting series, with the Reds slightly favor- ed in this corner--since the Tigers are apt to relax now, after their terrific stretch drive to the top. . > + @ OH YES! We almost forgot, We should tell you something about that biz game in Hamil- ton, ch? 4+ * Well, in "our time" we have been given some merry old "rides" by rival sport crowds but we never had to stand up under a verbal barrage _ in our life such as we received in Hamilton on Saturday from about 100 Toronto C.P.E. spectators. Who started before the game opened and kept it up, reaching a new "scream- ing peak" in the 4th inning when Express scored two runs and hit- ting a new "silent" depth in the 5th when Oshawa got 7 runs. * + * The Pepsi-Colas were all given a merry ride but the laddie on the bench, which was next to the bleachers, had to put up with most of it. As it. turned out, the CP.E. fans might have had better success if they had used their "razzing" ef- forts against the Oshawa players on the field instead of the coach on ths bench. When they woke up to GUILTINAN'S CHAMPION SHOE SHOP OUR : MOTTO: Better SHOE REPAIRING pleases our old customers and gets us new ones. 17 BOND EAST PHONE 1216 - Collect, Deliver the fact that they had been trying to "rile" the wrong person--it was too late. L INE J J There was reported to be about 100 C.P.E. fans oa hand, besides a handful of Oshawa" spectators and a few Hamilton people. They forgot to take up the collection until after Osh- awa had taken the lead and the total "take" was $5.15 which in- dicates that the Toronto fans were at least ccasistent. They dida't average a nickel apiece. Some of them, couldn't even stay until the end of the game. Bo bP One or two--and no more--came down to the Oshawa bench after and congratulated the Pepsi's and even admitted that the better team had won. There was no doubt about that, Oshawa outhit the Ex- pressmen even despite Bus Benson's great effort and in the field, there was no comparison. Costly errors, always in the worst spots, contribut- ed to the Oshawa rallies but the Pepsi's only had one lone error in the field and it didn't mean any- thing. + + + We don't intead to review the game here. There's a complete story on the other side of the pitching, Trewin's homer, plus page but Wilf Lewis's 5-hit other timely hits in the same big rally, were the high spots in the Oshawa win. They wouldn't pull Benson out, evea after Oshawa had scored seven runs in the 5th and the first two batters had hit in the 6th. Maybe, it just isn't done. + + + They called the Pepsi's the "Cleveland Cry-Babies"--before the game, with reference to the protest --but AFTER the game, the CP.E. team were going to protest because base. They likely changed their minds when they realized that nine Oshawa players "made it" without much trouble. * + @ And so now--it's Oshawa vs. Guelph for the O.A.S.A. Inter- mediate "A" championship of the Province. The first game was to have been played in Oshawa this Wednesday but in order to "play ball" with the local senior ball club and of course, improve chances for a better "gate", the Pepsi-Colas have arranged to postpone that game until Thursday. Guelph will play in Oshawa at the Stadium, Thursday evéaing at five o'clock sharp. The second game will be back (n Guelph on Saturday. Bowling News from the Local Greens (By Jack High) On Thursday evening last a very | pleasant game was played on the Oshawa Greens in aid of funds for the local Red Cross quite a fair number of ladies and gentlemen i turned out, but the writer thinks owing to the nature of the game a much larger attendance was ex- pected. Perhaps the night being a little chilly kept some of the mem- bers away, but still its very pleasing to report the sum of $20 was col- lected for this worthy object. Two 10-end games were played, the re- sult being: 4 high for ladies--Ilst, Mrs. R. Coppin, who received a beautiful cake donated by Bill Dun- can of the Home Dairy; 2nd, Mrs. A. P. Taylor; 3rd, Mrs. B. Ward; 4th, Mrs. G. Dempsey. These 3 ladies received a basket of 'W-1 peaches. The winners of the prizes for gentlemen were: Mr. B. Ward, 1st; Mr. S. McMillen, 2nd; Mr, A. Kidd, 3rd; and Mr. W. Brownlee, 4th. These gents each received a basket of peaches also, but the writer thinks if the lights hadn't been turned off in the last end of his game he might have been in for a basket of peaches also. ' There was also a lucky draw and the following were successful in getting one 'of the remaining 5 baskets of peaches: Mrs, Bradley, Miss Raby, Toronto; Mrs. Harding, Mr. Cook, Cannington; and Dr. Langmaid. The following gentlemen donat- ed the prizes: Mr. W. Duncan, Mr. P. Cochrane, Mr. Bradley, Mr. E. Parsons, Dr. Phillips, R. Snowden, Mr. McDairmid, Mr. Coppin, Mr, and Mrs. Brownlee and Mrs. E. Goodman, for which many thanks. + + » On Saturday afternoon, the 28th, the Irish Treble tournament for the late Jim Fowlds trophy was played.

The defeat climaxed a hectic semi-final series which was cen- cluded after a protest meeting by the sub-committee of the O.AS.A. ordering with a fourth game order. ed on the neutral Hamilton dia- mond, with Hamilton officials in charge. Came From Behind CP. Express and the Pepsi's bat- tled on even terms for three innings and then in the first of tae fourth (Oshawa won the toss), the Toron- to team moved out in front. Clift King opened the inning with a two-bagger and Alex Stanley promptly rapped a screaming two- bagger just inside the first-base, scoring King. Stanley advanced on an infield out and scored.on an out field fly. Bus Benson continued his fine mound work in the fourth but in the last of the fifth game the de- luge swept him and his mates into the 1940 softball discard. Big. Rally. Wirs Game Wilf Lewis, first batter, flied out, then Little poked out through sec- ond and Stanley threw the ball into the screen, after a sensational pick. | up. Don Cornish rapped the ball | into tright-field for a clean double and then on a double-steal play, Little was closely safe at the plate with Oshawa"s first run. McLaugh- lin struck out for the second. out and then, with two out and the score, 2-1, the Pepsi-Cola team turned on the barrage. They didn't drive Bus Benson from the mound but the only rea- son was that the C.P.E. manager Kit- chen rapped a clean single, scoring Cornish and then Hall drove one through second for another hit, Roy Covert rapped the ball down the right-field foul line, just inside, for two bases, to make the score 4-2, Taylor then drilled one al Mako, third-baseman, and he fum- bled and was too late with his throw. Bill Trewin then put the clamps on the victory with a hard liner into left-field which Ferguson just failed to get to and the ball rolled deep for a clean homer. Continue Assault Pepsi's continued the assault in the 6th inning, after they had re tired the CP.E. in order again. Lit. tle onened it up again, this time with a clean two-bagger and Core nish singled with a neat bunt that caught the CP.E, team flat-footed, McLaughlin fanned and then Kit chen drove one through the infield for an error, and on Covert's single, Cornish scored the second run of the inning making it 9-2, The Expressmen were a beaten team at this stage and their hc. of supporters, previously very noisy, had become silent. Bus Benson came back to form to strike out five batters out of zix in tho next two innings, but he was greatly aided in the fact that the Pepsi- Colas were not trying too hard at the plate, rather saving their ener gles for the defensive play. CP. Express made their last splurge in the 8th. Up until the 8th inning they had only had two hits, the two doubles by King and Stan- ley in the 4th. In the 8th, Make opened with a two-bagger and scored when Parfitt singled inte left-field. Ferguson grounded to Trewin wha forced Parfitt at second. King grounded to Hall, who made Osh« awa's only error when he attempted to field the ball one-handed, in search of a quick double-play. The ball bounced out of Hall's hand, leaving King safe. Stanley flied oul to McLaughlin in deep right and Ferguson scored when Bus Benson got his only hit of the game. King rounded 3rd fast in an attempt te also score but Covert's neat throw to the plate had him beat by plenty and before he could scramble back, Kitchen whipped the ball to Hall who made the tag-out. King and the entire CPE. team protested vigorously against the umpire's dee cision but only succeeded in almost getting put out of the game. In the 9th, any chance Toronta had of winning the ball game was lost when Barnes, pinch-hitter, singled. Wilson flied out te ¥itchen and then McMillan, another pinche hitter, drilled a liner at Wib Hall, who made the catch and threw ta Taylor at first, for a double-play on Barnes, which ended the game and series.
